Here's a picture of a 7" bodkin. You can get them at Jo-Ann's. One end has a round ball that is perfect for running along the seams of appliqued pieces. I've also used a small crochet hook (either end).

I'll have to look later. I wanted to place an order for several odds and ends I need but have to get ready to leave for work. http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.j...rd49627&amuc=5,439 has something to do with a raffia set ... can't remember the whole schtick, but on the Joann's page it is right next to the 7" bodkin |

This is produced by Boye, and it is called a bodkin, flexible ... may be more what you were thinking of... now, tell us what you are going to use it for <G> |
That looks like what you described, and it does say Bodkin ... but, it sure looks like a knitting needle to me ....
the bone folder is the best turner, in my humble opinion ... and, if you can remember to stitch 2 stitches across the corner, rather than make a direct right turn, you will be able to actually turn a better looking corner .... good enough that when I showed that Sandra Betzina tip, the supervisor taught it to the other collar stitchers/machine operators ... carry on <wave> LOL |
A stiletto was what came to my mind. I've heard others use a orangewood stick, like for doing manicures.
|
I use "That purple thing", square on one end, rounded point on the other.
Ordered off internet. |
|
I use my Purple Thang when I can find it! :?
|
clover has one that is called a finger presser it is flat on the end and you run it down the seam to press it open or to one side
